River Orchid
The turquoise of tropical water. River Orchid is inspired by the Gulf of Mexico and childhood days at St. Pete Beach: toes sinking into the sand, and hunting for coquinas at the water’s edge.
A lighter-toned variegated colorway, with a white streak running through it. Naturally dyed in West Virginia.

Did you know?
Coquinas are tiny clams that live buried in the wet sand at the edge of the surf. Each wave uncovers them, and they dig back in within moments. Their small shells come in a wide range of colors, and a handful of them is a classic find on a Gulf beach.
Care
All of our colorways are tonal – with shifts in color from light to dark as part of the natural dyeing process. Colors and tones may vary from the images online. Pre-wash in cold water – by hand – before use, as natural dyes may release excess color during the first several washes. Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight.
